Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8 (RHEL 8)
Made generally available in 2019 (and still available for download today), RHEL 8 quickly became one of our most popular major releases. And for those who want to standardize on RHEL 8 in production indefinitely, we now offer an annually renewable Red Hat Enterprise Linux Long-Life Add On subscription that extends access to version-specific security software, bug fixes, and technical support—without a pre-determined end date.
Engineered for any environment
Red Hat® Enterprise Linux® 8 (RHEL 8) was specifically engineered to work across bare metal and virtual environments, as well as private, public, hybrid, and multiclouds—releasing 11 minor versions between 2019 to 2024. It introduced both application streams and the first supported Red Hat Universal Base Image (UBI) while standardizing daemonless container tools like Podman, Buildah, and Skopeo.
And for the RHEL 8 purists, we now offer a Red Hat Enterprise Linux Long-Life Add-On subscription that professionally supports any version of RHEL. In production. Indefinitely.
